(It’s that time of year again! Welcome to TheFABlife Bikini Awards, where we pit half-naked celebs against each other and you vote for the finest skin-flaunter of the summer of 2011.)

Voting is now closed. Thanks for participating!

There’s a reason we TiVo just about everything on TV — it’s filled with gorgeous starlets workin’ their stuff. Some of our favorite small screen stars showed off their svelte bods this summer. Who’s the hottest — Julianne Hough, Rachel Bilson, Annalynne McCord or Shauna Sand?

New husband, same three numbers on the phone. Shauna Sand and Laurent Homburger were arrested last night after neighbors called to report a domestic incident. According to TMZ, Sand was charged with felony domestic violence while Homburger got battery and criminal theft charges. According to their sources, the couple fought after Sand announced she wanted to divorce her husband of less than six months. Sand locked herself in a bathroom, and, when Homburger knocked it down, she doused the 25-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

Sand, 39, has previously been married to Lorenzo Lamas, with whom she has three children, and Romain Chavent, whom she divorced after several restraining orders and allegations of abuse. The former Playmate is currently out on bail, though husband Homburger’s release has yet to be reported.

You’ve just about made it through another holiday season full of tons of food, holiday traffic and crazy cousins. Congrats! Now it’s time to ring in the new year with the 100 hottest celebrity bikini pictures of the year. You’re welcome! Our gallery is ordered from one to 100, with #1 being the hottest. Miranda Kerr is the reigning champ from 2009 — not even Vanessa Minnillo in a skimpy pink bikini could topple her in 2010. Enjoy!

Is there any group of “celebs” that do attention-grabbing swimwear better than the nobodies who lurk around the outside of clubs in skin-tight Herve Leger dresses, hoping to get noticed by the paparazzi? Answer: no. This crew wants attention so badly, they’d get the word tattooed on their body if it meant getting on the cover of In Touch Weekly. Luckily we’re willing to give it to them for free, as long as they keep wearing revealing bathing suits. Competing in the D-Listers category: Paris Hilton, Kathy Griffin, Holly Madison, 90210 2.0 actress Annalyne McCord and Shauna Sands, who’s known mostly for wearing Lucite stilettos at the beach.

One doesn’t go to the Adult Video News Awards in Vegas expecting modesty, but reluctant sex tape star Shauna Sand made a spectacle of herself even considering the surroundings, forgetting to put a dress on her over her eye-catching lingerie. The professional porn stars on stage to accept awards—including Crossover Star Of The Year Sasha Grey and Most Outrageous Sex Scene winner Belladonna (who also performed an interpretive dance onstage)—couldn’t help but look respectably glamorous in comparison. Attending alongside the battalion of XXX actors were host Dave Attell, rapper Baby Bash (admittedly not as hot as last year’s Flo-Rida appearance) and comedienne Margaret Cho. Watch your favorite porn stars wear more clothes than usual in the red carpet gallery below.

When everyone’s going to see your lemons, you might as well make lemonade. Shauna Sand has announced plans to promote that sex tape she tried to so hard to keep from being released. “I made this video with my ex-boyfriend for our own enjoyment,” the Playmate said in a statement. “But since Vivid obtained a copy and is moving ahead with distribution, I now feel it will be in my best interest to work with Vivid to make sure it is handled properly.”

“I’m taking full control of this situation,” she added. “I’m proud of the way I look in the video. My ex-boyfriend was the cameraman, I edited it and added the music and so I have an interest in the final product.” Sand’s current boyfriend doesn’t seem too embarassed by the attention, standing next to Sand (whose grandmother probably didn’t knit that dress) outside Madeo last night. Maybe he’ll get to direct the sequel.

Shauna Sand has stopped her battle to keep Shauna Sand’s sex tape off shelves, after learning that Shauna Sand signed off on its release. According to TMZ, Vivid Entertainment head Steven Hirsh hired a handwriting expert to prove that the Playmate OK’d their purchase of her amateur porn performance. Realizing how “long and expensive” it would be to fight this evidence, she rescinded her initial cease-and-desist letter. You think you’re confused? Imagine how Shauna Sand feels!

The embarrassment hasn’t kept her from being seen in public, stepping off to dinner at Madeo with a friend after her meeting with Hirsh. What, did you think she was going to buy a turtleneck and stay in with a book?

In what must prove shocking news to fans of the Playboy playmate, a sex tape starring Shauna Sand and her current boyfriend is set for release by Vivid Entertainment next week. For once, Sand seeks to keep herself covered. “Yes, I did make a sex tape with my boyfriend earlier this year,” she told TMZ. “In fact I’ve made several sex tapes, but I certainly didn’t sign off on this and Vivid has no right to put it out. I am trying to get a hold of my attorney now.” Vivid, who purchased the footage from a third party, claims to be on safe legal ground.

While reportedly furious, Sand’s ex-husband Lorenzo Lamas has promised in writing not to challenge her custody of their children over the sex tape. Gee, you’d think he would have been more worried about their exposure to her abusive exRomain Chavent than Mom’s usual exposure.

Shauna Sand seems to have moved on from her restrained ex Romain Chavent, hopping into the arms of Gregory Knudsen, who was spotted hanging with the playmate and her kids on the beach yesterday. The happy couple drank wine and rode jet skis – (is that a good idea?) and Gregory seemed to get along with Shauna’s little ones just fine. [Photos: Splash News Online]
